Frequently Asked Questions - IDCE 845 A ECO INDESIT

How do I clean the lint filter on my Indesit IDCE 845 A ECO?

Open the door, pull the lint filter upward from the door recess, open it, and remove the lint by hand or with a vacuum cleaner. Rinse the filter under water if needed, dry it, and reinsert. Clean after every cycle.

What does the 'Eco' program do on this dryer?

The Eco program is designed for energy efficiency, drying smaller loads (up to 4 kg) at a lower temperature, reducing power consumption while still achieving good drying results for cotton items.

Why does my dryer stop before clothes are dry?

Possible causes: overload, wet lint filter, blocked condenser, or incorrect program selected. Check the lint filter and condenser, reduce load size, and ensure you are using the appropriate program for the fabric type.

How do I empty the water tank?

Slide out the water tank located at the bottom right or behind the door (depending on model). Pour the water out, rinse the tank if necessary, and slide it back in until it clicks. Do this after each cycle or when the indicator lights up.

Can I install the dryer in a cupboard or small space?

Yes, as a condenser dryer, it does not require external venting. However, ensure adequate ventilation and that the room temperature does not exceed 35°C. Leave at least 5 cm clearance around the dryer for airflow.

How do I activate the child lock?

Press and hold the 'Child Lock' button (usually marked with a key icon) for 3-5 seconds until a lock symbol appears on the display. Repeat to deactivate. This prevents accidental program changes during a cycle.

What does the 'Anti-Crease' function do?

After the drying cycle ends, the drum rotates intermittently for up to 6 hours without heat to prevent wrinkles from settling. You can remove clothes anytime during this period.

How often should I clean the condenser?

Clean the condenser unit every 1-2 months or when the 'Clean Condenser' indicator lights up. Remove the condenser from its housing (usually behind a flap), rinse with water, and dry before reinserting.

The dryer displays an error code. What should I do?

Common error codes include: F01 (electronics issue) - unplug and wait 1 minute; F02 (motor problem) - check drum for obstruction; F03 (heating issue) - clean filter and condenser; F05 (drain problem) - empty water tank. If persists, contact Indesit service.

Can I dry wool or silk items in this dryer?

No, wool and silk should not be tumble dried unless specifically labeled 'tumble dry safe'. Use a flat drying rack or line dry these delicate items to avoid shrinkage or damage.

Step 3

Replace the water container making sure that it is securely fixed.

Failure to empty the water container may cause the following:

- The dryer stops heating (thus the load may still be damp at the end of the drying cycle).

- The "Empty water container" LED activates to show that the water container is full.

Filling of the Water Container

When the dryer is first used water will not immediately enter the water container as the pump needs to be primed. This is done automatically and will take a few minutes, during this period the efficiency of the drying process is not affected.

Heat Pump Filter Unit - You must clean the fluff from the filter every five drying cycles to maintain the correct functioning of your dryer! However for optimum performance and to save energy we recommend that it is cleaned before each drying cycle.

Step 5

Refit the filter unit - ensure that the unit is pushed in fully, then turn all 4 clips into the horizontal position to lock the cover.

Failure to clean Heat Pump Filter will reduce the drying performance and could cause premature failure of your dryer.

To maintain optimum drying performance we recommend you clean this filter after every drying cycle.

Where to install the tumble dryer

• Install the dryer far from gas ranges, stoves, radiators or hobs, as flames may damage it. If the dryer is installed below a worktop, ensure there are 10 mm between the upper panel of the dryer and any objects above it, and 15 mm between the sides of the machine and the walls or furniture units adjacent to it. This ensures adequate air circulation.

Ventilation

• The room must be adequately ventilated while the dryer is running. Make sure that the dryer is installed in a room free of humidity and with adequate air circulation. The flow of air around the dryer is essential to allow water to condense during drying; the dryer will not function properly if it is placed in an enclosed space or inside a cabinet.
  ! Some condensation may form if the dryer is used in a small or cold room.
  ! We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a cupboard but the dryer must never be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the dryer door.

Water drain

If your dryer is installed next to a drain the water can be plumbed into this drain. This does away with the need to empty the water container. If the dryer is stacked onto or installed next to a washing machine it can share the same drain. The height of the drain must be less than 3' (1 m) from the bottom of the dryer. Remove existing hose from position shown in picture A and fit a suitable length of hose and connect as shown in picture B.
! Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked when the dryer is in its final location.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the following:

• Make sure your hands are dry.
- The socket must have an earth connection.
- The socket must be able to withstand the machine's maximum power output as indicated on the data plate (see Description of the tumble dryer).
- The power supply voltage must fall within the values indicated on the data plate (see Description of the tumble dryer). - The socket must be compatible with the machine's plug. If not, either the socket or the plug must be replaced.
! Do not use extension cords.
! The tumble dryer must not be installed in outdoor spaces, even if sheltered. It may be very dangerous to expose this appliance to rain and thunderstorms.
! Once dryer installation is complete, the electric cord and plug must be at hand.
! The electric cord must not be bent or crushed.
! If the plug to be replaced is of the moulded-on type, it must be disposed of in a safe way. DO NOT leave it where it can be plugged into a socket and cause electric shocks.{}
! The electric cord must be regularly checked and replaced with a cord specifically designed for this dryer; it must then be installed by an authorised technician only (see Assistance). New or longer electric cords are supplied by authorised dealers at a supplementary cost.
! The manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure to observe these instructions.
! When in doubt about the above indications, contact a qualified electrician.

Levelling the tumble dryer

The dryer must be installed level for correct operation.

Energy Saver Cycles

The Energy Saver Cycles reduce energy consumption and so they not only help the environment, they also cut your energy bill!

Energy Saver Cycles are available for several different types of fabric, there is one you can use with cottons, there is one specially for shirts and there is one for use with synthetic fabrics. They have all been designed to guarantee excellent drying performance for small loads.

Energy Saver Cycles give the best drying results thanks to perfect temperature regulation and to accurate humidity detection which is optimized to obtain the best result on small load.

Delicates

• This is a programme for drying your Delicate Clothes i.e. Acrylics.
• It can be used for load sizes up to 2.0 kg.
• This programme will take about 2:00 (hrs:mins), but may take longer depending on the size and density of the load and the spin speed used in your washer.
• Loads dried using this programme are usually ready to use, but on some garments may be slightly damp. If this is found try removing the load and open them out or turn inside out then run the programme again for a short period.

Wool Programme

This programme is specific for items that withstand tumble drying and are labelled with the ☐ symbol. It is suitable for loads of up to 1 kg (about 3 jerseys). We recommend turning the garments inside out before drying them. This programme lasts about 1:00 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and on the spin speed used during the wash cycle. Garments dried with this programme are usually ready to be worn, although the edges of heavier garments may be slightly damp. Leave them to dry naturally, as an additional drying process may damage them.

Unlike other materials, the shrinking process in wool is irreversible, i.e. the garment does not resume its original dimension and shape.

This programme is not suited for acrylic items.

Jeans Programme

This programme is suited to washing cotton denim jeans. Turn the front pockets inside out before drying the jeans. It is suitable for loads of up to 3 kg (about 4 pairs).

This programme lasts about 1:25 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and of the load and on the spin speed used in the wash cycle. Garments dried using this programme are usually ready to be worn, though edges and seams may be slightly damp. In this occurs, turn the jeans inside out and reactivate the programme for a short while.

Use this cycle for 100% cotton garments only; do not mix dark and light colours and avoid using this programme for garments with embroidery and accessories (elastic strings around the waist area, brooches, etc.); turn pockets inside out.

Special Shoes Programme

This programme is specific for drying sports shoes of sizes 37-46. The shoes must have been previously washed and spun at a minimum spin speed of 400 revolutions.

A specific shoe rack is provided and must be used, otherwise the dryer will be damaged if shoes are dried in the drum. Remove the filter from its holder on the front part of the dryer and position the shoe rack.

Place shoelaces inside the shoes then load with the tips of the shoes facing downwards and the soles frontwards.

Drying times vary according to the shape and type of the shoe. If the shoes are not completely dry at the end of the programme, restart the programme.

Do not dry shoes that have gel or flashing lights inside them. Only dry shoes made of synthetic material or rope. Once the programme ends, remove the shoe rack and replace the filter into its holder.

Sportwear Programme

This programme is studied for safely drying garments such as tracksuits and shorts bearing the □ symbol. It is ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully. Suitable for loads of up to 4 kg, it lasts about 1:20 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and of the spin speed used during the wash cycle. We suggest turning garments inside out before drying them.

Outwear Programme

This programme is specific for drying water-repellent fabrics and sports jackets (e.g. Gore-Tex, polyester, nylon). Drying the garment after a wash cycle has a beneficial effect as it reactivates the garment's water-repellent treatment.

It can be used for loads of up to 2 kg. The programme lasts about 2:00 (hrs:mins), although it may last longer depending on the size and density of the load and on the spin speed used during the wash cycle.

Easy Iron

A short 10-minute programme that relaxes the garment's fibres in order to facilitate ironing and folding.

This programme is particularly recommended for cotton or mixed cotton fabrics.

For optimal results, do not overload the drum (the following values refer to the weight of dry garments):

Fabric: maximum load

Cotton and mixed cotton: 2.5 kg

Synthetic garments: 2 kg

Jeans: 2 kg

Empty the dryer as soon as the programme ends; hang, fold or iron garments then place them in the wardrobe. If this is not possible, repeat the programme.

As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet.

The effect produced by the programme varies according to the characteristics of the each fabric: fabrics such as acrylic fibres or

Tencel® do not give the same results as traditional fibres (e.g. cotton).

Refresh

A short programme suitable for refreshing fibres and garments. It lasts about 20 minutes.

! As this is not a drying programme, it is not to be used for garments that are still wet.

Options

The options allow for customising the selected programme according to one's own needs.

Timed drying

After selecting a programme, press the "Timed drying" button to enter a drying time. Every time this button is pressed, the duration of the selected drying cycle appears on the display. When pressed the first time, the highest allowed value for the selected cycle appears on the display. When pressed each of the following times, the set time is reduced until OFF appears.

The buzzer will activate if the timed drying option is not available.

The selected time is displayed after the start of the programme and cannot be modified after pressing the START/PAUSE button.

Delay Start

The start of some programmes (see Programmes and options) may be delayed up to 24 hours. Press the button repeatedly to enter the desired delay time. Before setting a delayed start, make sure that the water container is empty and that the filter is clean.

Pre Anti-Crease

When this option is selected in addition to the “Delay start” option, the drum rotates garments at intervals during the delay period to avoid creases forming.

Post Anti-Crease

When this option is selected, the drum rotates garments at intervals after the cold drying cycle has ended, in order to avoid creases forming on garments if they cannot be immediately removed at the end of the programme. During this phase, the indicator light is turned on.

High Heat

When a drying time is selected, pressing this button sets a high heat drying and the indicator light above the button lights up. The timed programmes are pre-set to low heat.

Alarm

A buzzer sounds at the end of the drying cycle to signal that the programme has ended and the garments are ready to be removed.

Not all options are available on all programmes (see Programmes and options). If the button of an unavailable option is pressed, the buzzer emits three signals. If an option is available, a single buzzer signal sounds and the option indicator light next to the button lights up to confirm the selected option.

Opening the door

If the door is opened (or the START/PAUSE button is pressed) while a programme is running, the dryer stops and the following may occur:

• The START/PAUSE button flashes orange.
• When a delayed start is running, the delay countdown continues. It is necessary to press the START/PAUSE button to resume the “Delay start” programme. The “Delay start” indicator light flashes and the display visualises the time remaining to the start of the selected programme.
• It is necessary to press the START/PAUSE button to resume the programme. The progress indicator lights signal the running phase and the START/PAUSE indicator light stops flashing and turns green.
• During the post anti-crease phase, the programme ends. Pressing the START/PAUSE button reactivates a new programme from the beginning.
• By turning the Programme selection knob, a new programme is selected and the START/PAUSE indicator light flashes green. This procedure can be used to select the Cold drying programme to cool garments if they are judged to be dry enough.

Press the START/PAUSE button to start the new programme.

Heat Pump Protection System

The heat pump sytem has a compressor protection feature, that operates if you open the door or there is a power disruption or you turn off the dryer. This system will prevent the heat pump compressor from starting for 5 minutes after the door is closed and the programme started.

Note: In the event of a power cut, turn the power switch off and remove the plug; when the electricity supply returns, press the START/PAUSE button to resume the programme.

Sorting laundry

• Check the symbols on the care labels of the various garments to verify whether the garments can be safely tumble dried.
• Sort laundry according to the type of fabric.
  • Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
• Close zips and hooks and fasten belts and strings without tightening them.
• Wring out garments to remove the maximum amount of water possible.

! Do not load the dryer when garments are dripping wet.

Maximum load sizes

Do not overload the drum.

The following values indicate the weight of dry garments:

Natural fibres: maximum 7.5 kg

May be tumble dried.

Do not tumble dry.

Tumblr dry – high heat.

Tumble dry - low heat.

Items not suitable for tumble drying:

• Items containing rubber parts or similar materials, or plastic film covering (pillows, cushions or PVC sports jackets), any type of inflammable object or objects containing inflammable substances (used towels containing hairspray).
  • Glass fibres (certain types of draperies).
• Items which have been previously dry cleaned.
• Items marked with the ITLC symbol ("Special garments") ☒, which may be washed using special household products. Follow instructions carefully.
• Large bulky items (duvets, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, large bedcovers, etc.) that expand when dried and hamper air circulation inside the tumble dryer.

Special garments

Blankets and bedcovers: acrylic items (Acilian, Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with great care at low heat. Avoid drying for long periods.

Creased or pleated garments: read the drying instructions supplied by the manufacturer.

Starched garments: do not dry together with non-starched items. Remove the maximum amount of starch solution possible before placing these items in the dryer. Do not over-dry: starch turns powdery leaving garments limp – this defeats its purpose.

Drying times

Drying times are approximate and may vary depending on the following:

• Amount of water retained by items after the spin cycle: towels and delicate items retain a lot of water.

• Fabrics: items of the same fabric, but with different texture and thickness may have different drying times.

• Amount of laundry: single items and small loads may take longer to dry.

• Drying: if items are to be ironed, they can be removed from the dryer while still slightly damp. Items that require complete drying can be left longer.
• Heat setting.
• Temperature of the room: the lower the temperature of the room, the longer it will take for the dryer to dry clothing.
• Bulk: certain bulky items require special care during the drying process. We suggest removing these items and replacing them in the dryer once they have been shaken out: repeat this procedure several times during the course of the drying cycle.

! Do not over-dry items.

All fabrics contain natural dampness which helps to keep them soft and fluffy.

The drying times provided refer to the automatic Cupboard dry programmes.

The Timed drying settings are also indicated to enable you to select the most suitable timed option.

The weight refers to dry items.

Disconnecting the power supply

! Disconnect the dryer when not in use or during cleaning and maintenance operations.

Cleaning the filter after each cycle

The filter is a fundamental component of the dryer: its function is to collect lint and fluff that form during drying. Clean the filter once drying is completed, by rinsing it under running water or cleaning it with a vacuum cleaner. Should the filter become clogged, the flow of air inside the dryer will be seriously hampered: drying times becomes longer and more energy is consumed. Moreover, the dryer may become damaged. The filter is located in front of the dryer seal (see Picture). Removing the filter:

1. Pull the filter's plastic handle upwards (see Picture).
2. Clean the fluff off the filter and replace it correctly. Ensure that the filter is pushed fully home.

! Do not use the dryer unless the filter has been replaced in its holder.

Checking the drum after each cycle

Rotate the drum manually to remove smaller items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left inside the dryer.

Cleaning the drum

! Avoid using abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning agents to clean the drum. A coloured film may appear on the stainless steel drum surface: it may be caused by a combination of water and/or cleaning agents such as wash-softeners. This coloured film does not affect the dryer's performance.

Emptying the water container after each cycle

Remove the water container and empty it into a sink or other suitable drain outlet, then replace it correctly. Always check the water container and empty it before starting a new drying cycle.

Cleaning the Heat Pump Filter Unit

- Periodically (every 5 drying cycles) remove Heat pump filter unit and clean any build up of fluff from the surface of the filter by rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum cleaner. We however recommend that you clean this filter after every drying cycle to optimize the dryers performance.

To remove Heat pump filter unit:

1. Unplug the dryer and open the door.
2. Remove the filter unit by rotating the 4 clips to the vertical position then pulling the filter unit towards you.
3. Separate the two parts of the filter unit and clean the surface of the filter.

! Warning: The front of the heat pump is made from thin metal plates.

Take care that you do not damage these or cut yourself when cleaning, removing or replacing the filter unit.

1. If there is any build up of fluff on the plates Carefully clean this off with a damp cloth, sponge or vacuum cleaner. Never use your Fingers.

2. Assemble the two parts of the filter clean the surface of the seals and replace with the 4 clips into the horizontal position, sure that the catches have been secured.

Cleaning the tumble dryer

- The external metal, plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth. - Clean the front air intake grille regularly (every 6 months) with a vacuum cleaner to remove any lint, fluff or dust deposits. Furthermore, remove any lint deposits from the front part of the condenser and from the filter area, using a vacuum cleaner every so often.

! Do not use solvents or abrasives.

! Have the dryer checked regularly by authorised technical personnel in order to ensure that the electrical and mechanical parts work safely (see Assistance).

If you feel that the dryer is not working properly, consult the following troubleshooting suggestions before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistance).

Problem:

The dryer does not start.

Possible causes / Solutions:

• The plug has not been inserted far enough into the socket to make contact.
  • There has been a power cut.
• The fuse has blown. Try connecting another appliance to the same socket.
• If an extension cord is used, try connecting the dryer plug directly into the socket.
• The door has not been closed properly.
• The programme has not been set correctly (see How to carry out a drying cycle).
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed (see How to carry out a drying cycle).

The drying cycle does not start.

• A delayed start time has been set (see Programmes and options).
• The START/PAUSE button has been pressed; a short delay follows before the dryer starts running. Wait for the drying cycle to start; do not press the START/PAUSE button otherwise the dryer switches to the pause mode and the drying cycle will not start.

Drying times are too long.

• The filter has not been cleaned (see Maintenance).
• The water container must be emptied? The "Empty water container" indicator light flashes and the message appears "H2O" (see Maintenance).
• The Heat Pump Filter needs cleaning (see Maintenance).
• The heat setting is not suited to the type of fabric to be dried (see Programmes and options).
• An incorrect drying time was selected for the type of load (see Laundry).
• The items are too wet (see Laundry).
• The air intake grille are clogged up (see "Installation" and "Care and Maintenance").
• The dryer is overloaded (see Laundry).

The “Empty water container” indicator light flashes, but the dryer has been running for a short time.

- The water container was probably not emptied before starting the programme. Do not wait for the signal for emptying the water container, but always check and empty it before starting a new drying programme (see Description of the tumble dryer).

The "Empty water container" indicator light is on but the water container is not full.

- It is normal: the “Empty water container” indicator light flashes when the water container is full. If the indicator light is on but is not flashing, it is just a reminder to empty the container (see Description of the tumble dryer).

The programme is finished but the items are damper than expected.

For safety reasons, the dryer programmes last a maximum of 4 hours. If an automatic programme has not detected the final dampness level required in this interval, the dryer completes the programme and stops. Check the above points and repeat the programme; if the items are still damp, contact the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistance).

The code "F" appears on the display followed by one or two numbers, the options indicator lights and the pause indicator light flash.

- If the display visualises F10 or F15, switch the appliance off and unplug it, then clean the filter and the Heat Pump Filter unit (see Maintenance). Reinsert the plug, switch the appliance on and start another programme. If the display still visualises F10 or F15, contact the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistance). If the display still visualises other numbers, mark the code and contact the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistance).

"dOn" briefly appears on the display every 6 seconds.

- The appliance is in “Demo” mode. Press the ON/OFF and START/PAUSE buttons and keep them pressed for 3 seconds. The display visualises “dOn” for 3 seconds, then the dryer starts functioning normally.

The "Remaining time" indicator changes during the drying cycle.

- The remaining time is constantly monitored during the drying cycle and is updated to show the best forecast. It is normal for the displayed time to increase during the cycle.

The dryer is noisy during the first few minutes of operation.

- This is normal, especially if the dryer has not been used for a long time. If the noise persists during the entire cycle, contact the Technical Assistance Centre.

The lights on the dryer control panel are off although the dryer is switched on.

- The dryer has gone into standby mode to save power. This occurs if you have left the dryer on or have had a power cut. It occurs after 30 minutes: - if you leave the dryer without starting a programme; - after your drying programme has finished. Press the On/Off button and the lights will come on again.

Heat Pump System

This dryer is fitted with a sealed heat pump system to dry your clothes. To operate, the heat pump contains fluorinated greenhouse gases (F gases) which are covered by the Kyoto Protocol. These F gases are contained in a hermetically sealed unit. This sealed unit contains 0.34 kg of the F gas R134a which acts as a refrigerant.

If the sealed unit fails then it must be replaced by a new sealed unit. Contact your nearest service centre for advise.

Note: The gases contained in the sealed unit are not hazardous to health, but if they escape they will have an impact on global warming.
